Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

The actual construction time required to repair your roof may only be a few hours, but it could also be a couple of days for extensive repairs or a large roof. But you may find yourself having to wait weeks for the insurance claim to go through, including having the adjuster visit your home and make their report. After your claim has been approved, there may be a wait time for roofing materials or to find time on a contractor's schedule.

Metal roofs have an excellent reputation for longevity. Including aluminum roofing, you can expect a metal roof to last between 40 and 80 years under normal conditions and with proper maintenance. That longevity can shorten in areas where salty air is a concern and not accounted for during installation to provide additional material protections. 

Copper roof strips can last for 20 to 30 years or more if properly installed—in many cases, they may outlast your roof. Inspect your roof annually to ensure copper roof strips remain properly adhered and undamaged, and repair any loose or lifted strips. With very little upkeep, copper roof strips can protect your roof for decades to come.

A metal roof will last for an average of around 50 years—usually between 40 and 75 years—which is about double the lifespan of an asphalt roof—between 15 and 30 years or 25 years on average. Installing a metal roof is usually more expensive than an asphalt roof, with an average cost of $11,400 compared to the $9,200 for an asphalt roof. However, given that a metal roof costs about 20% more and lasts twice as long, it’s typically well worth the investment and should save you money in the long run.

A metal roof can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years or more, depending on the type. Aluminum and corrugated metal roofs last around 45 years, but tin roofs can last for up to 75 years, and copper roofs can last 100 years or more.
